Honestly worse school

Honestly if you care about your child don’t send them here. The girls bathrooms have cameras and no door,no mirror and is absolutely filthy then there’s there rude subs that think they know better than everyone else and gives out w2’s like it nothing they school isn’t understanding and if the teachers tell you “you can talk to me I won’t email anything” there’s a 90% chance they will email your form/head of year the education system is exhausting and the whole school needs an upgrade in general

THIS IS HELL

This school is absolutely shit.there is no door on the girls toilets and teachers just stand there watching all the girls but they don't watch the boys toilets.its so bad I can't even describe it! The teachers don't give a shit about ur feelings or emotions and the teachers that do make it a really big deal and take u out of lessons to have a 5 minute talk about ur feelings. They even make us clean up the other classes mess on the playground and we either use a litter picker or we r made to use small gloves to pick up mouldy food and other classes rubbish! DONT SEND UR KIDS HERE(and there's no point as it's shutting down in 2026)

Save your children from hell

This school is so shit. I was bullied for 2 years and when I told a teacher she pretty much blanked me. Last week I was locked out of my art lesson for sharpening my pencil. The girls have so many restrictions on what they can do/wear. They were ignored when asking for a door on their bathroom which is right next to a locker room. The supplies are the worst ever, one has swore at me before. Some kids are favoured which means they never get in trouble, the teachers are RACIST, HOMOPHIBIC and SEXIST! I am in Year 8 and I can not wait to leave this fucking shithole. Save your child from hell, don't send them to marston.

do not ever send your kids here

this school takes the mick honestly, they dont care about your mental well being or anything as long as youre on lesson on time and have the right uniform. whenever you get upset you just get sat into a room. most teachers here dont even last a year. they replaced basically all the teachers and ever since then it has gotten worse. the teachers give 0 respect and expect you to give them respect even if they disrespect you. they do not care about you or anything at all, all they care about is your attendance. the other day i heard a year 6 crying to slt saying he wants to kill himself and all they said was 'no you dont.' like are you being serious?? i cant wait to see this school close. no ones kid should ever go here.

If you care for your safety or your child's, don't go here

This school claims to not tolerate biggoted behavior but it definitely doesn't. People I know and myself have been called various slurs by students, and staff do nothing about it. They also claim to say they can't intervene with things outside of school but they have before. There's no doors on toilets and a teacher is always standing looking into the girls toilet but never the boys ones. When called out about any situation they just tell u to file a report but never get to it. Force u to apologize to someone who makes fun of you because you made fun of them ONCE. homophobia only intolerable when it's towards a student who isn't even gay, but is tolerable then towards actually lgbtq students. Concerning amount of students making nazi jokes. Can't keep teachers for over a year, there's at least 3 pedos in the school. The teachers aren't smart enough to check their email and be of a student's support needs, SEND needs aren't met and teachers simply incapable of supporting neurodivegent students. They fail to support pupils with needs, as they have made many safe spaces unaccessible. Teachers also lack the knowledge on how to handle situations where a child with needs need extra support. They have poor communication skills, and that impacts things hugely. They also sexualise female presenting students; they banned LEGGINGS in PE because apparently it was too inappropriate and they also banned a type of shorts. They literally threatened to ban skirts too. Some teachers have been off of work for ages and there's only like 2 teachers per department. I'm glad to say I left the school 3 months ago but these issues are still prevelant and are getting worse. This school is shutting down in 2026, do not send your children here if you're from any Lower School locally; and certainly don't ask to go here because your life will be in ruin.

do not send your children here for the best.

terrible school, for your child’s well being DO NOT send your child here. it’s disgusting the toilets are unhygienic and electrical items haven’t been pac tested since 2017.. vandalism all over the walls, doors broken and unsafe to pupils, sanitary towels stuck on walls (used or new) sanitary towel bins emptied on floors with blood and wrappers over toilets and floors. mouldy water fountains..then refuse to give the children fresh water the teachers drink. teachers do not care about your well being they only care about your grades and if you look professional for ofsted. they act like they care but trust me they do not care at all. in my opinion there is only 2 teachers that genuinely care about the pupils in this school ( Mr A Stewart, Mr D Hutchinson), girls being harassed by male and female teachers about clothing (skirts,tops untucked,makeup,jewellery,hair etc) boys toilets never cleaned.. there was urine and shit left in urinals.. toilet paper thrown round. don’t even get me started on the food it’s not as bad as it was last year it’s become a bit better but don’t give you many options you have cold hot or jacket potato. they won’t feed you unless you pay which some people don’t have the money for. get detentions for anything ( my daughter got a w3 a while ago because of another pupil) this school is just all together absolutely disgusting. if you genuinely want your child to be happy and like school do not send them here please. they try to scare your child by threatening them with suspension over an incident that should’ve been given a lunch detention, if you are friends with a group of people that are known as the ‘bad kids’ your child WILL get blamed whether it was genuinely them or not.. they hire substitute teachers when a teacher isn’t available which they teach your child disgustingly they give them detentions and swear at them. a lot of people get victimised for having differences. they treat people with disabilities like their retards and are disgusting to them (they corner and restrain them when they don’t have a reason to) when a child is uncomfortable or having a meltdown they tell them to suck up and deal with it then send them back to lesson which causes them to throw a tantrum. they give out time out passes to people that don’t need but people that genuinely need them they won’t give them to. extra curricular activities are shit don’t give u many options and don’t let you freely take part in things you want to.. but when you don’t want to participate in something you get told you have to or it’s a isolation.

dont go here

the students here ar fairly rude, you cant even have your own opinion on something without being attacked by them. the teachers here dont care if youre getting bullied or care about what youre feeling as long as you finish your hw. you can have literally no friends and they dont care. most teachers here dont even stay for a year, they got all new teachers in september to try make marston a better school but its still just has bad, dont ever send your child here

Terrible school

This school put me in therapy because its so incredibly shit. The teachers are horrible and biased, the lessons arent well planned or prepared, its disgusting because they cant be arsed to fix or clean anything. They have shitty bathroom policies (no pun intended), there are no doors for privacy. Please spare your children's sanity and mental health by not sending them here.

Get some help MVM

The kids here a fucking insane, all they do is harass people and call em slurs, and the teachers don’t give a single shit, most of the teachers are probably homophobic, and probably one being a neo-n, the office people lie abt calling your parents. They say they call but they haven’t called one time, the rooms with lockers are so tiny and claustrophobic, horrid. There’s garbage everywhere, and some of the kids are literally criminals.
